Sarmede is all of this: an experiment born from the visionary thinking of Štěpán Zavřel and nurtured by the passion of a community that has put down roots here, then expanding into a labyrinth of blossoming that now envelops the whole world.
An exhibition that, for over forty years, has opened windows onto the world of illustration and children’s literature. An International School of Illustration where artists with multifaceted sensibilities meet, ready to engage in discussions in classrooms or at round tables during symposia.

A foundation that collects and nourishes the seeds left by all those who visit the rooms of the House of Fantasy, the heart of an expanding universe that stretches into the streets and squares of the village of the fairy tale. In the frescoes that decorate the facade, the portico, and the entrance of the Town Hall, and in the original illustrations that form the core of the Štěpán Zavřel Museum.
